So for me, I found that advertising only on the internet automatically got me a tenant pool more in line with my parameters and less ridiculous phone calls.

Still a long way off from the double digit rates of the Reagan years.

The Milwaukee market is quite diverse and while we have areas that have seen double digit appreciation in 2016 YoY there are others - especially low price point areas - that have flat lined.

@Jason Hirko  there have been many threads on this companythey are Utah based so they are half lender half back room guru education companyI suspect they make the majority of their dough on the 3k turn downs.they also then charge appraisal and a submission fee of 600 to 800 per deal and from what others have posted the values would not mess they were out 4 to 5k .. and of course they are going to these folks because they advertise NO money down 100% financing.. so the borrower is out 4 to 5k is now out of money and out of business.Too me is smacks of pump and dump due diligence .. but then they say for the 3k they give them their how to get rich in real estate education materials that are worth at least 3k... :)) 5 points 15% is what I have heard..  

Based on the developer's advertised costs of finishing the units, the appraiser underestimated the cost of finishing this third comp by $10k.

The advertised properties don't always hit the steps as was mentioned above.

Trying to figure out how to advertise this special feature when we go to sell.

The norm is that if a lease is broken the landlord has to mitigate their loss, meaning advertise and re-rent ASAP, which he has done, which means he has experienced no losses other than the costs of advertising if any as a result of your failure to fulfill this contract.

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. all of the other tools in addition to their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

Advertise, take applications, screen, select the most qualified.To restrict your requirements to vets only is discriminatory.
